Prepositions needed?

Hi. Should we (I?) put the preposition "at" before these what I consider as verbs that carry action ("action" verbs??)?

sniffed (at??) him

prodded (at??) him

snuffled (at??) him

pushed (at??) him

pawed (at??) him

nuzzled (at??) him
  

Top answer

)? ) him 'At' focuses on the action happening. eg I pushed at him .
